Challenge

Setting up a legal entity in Hanoi and building a workforce from the first stage of market entry.

As dmg events prepared to expand into Southeast Asia, the company needed to establish a legal entity in Hanoi and quickly build a team of expatriate and local employees. It required a partner with strong knowledge of Vietnamese regulations to support company formation and HR services, including private health insurance and immigration procedures for expatriate staff, as well as recruitment of qualified talent for the initial team.

Solution

An integrated package covering Company Formation, Payroll Outsourcing, Immigration and Recruitment.

Ascentium Vietnam supported dmg events throughout the establishment of its legal entity in Hanoi, while also providing payroll outsourcing and managing immigration procedures for expatriate staff. The team worked closely with dmg events' hiring managers to source suitable candidates for key positions and successfully placed two senior marketing hires by the end of June 2026.

Client Benefits & Advantages

The engagement enabled a fast legal entity setup, compliant onboarding of expatriate and local staff, and consistent alignment with Vietnamese labor and immigration regulations. By drawing on Ascentium Vietnam’s end-to-end company formation and HR support, dmg events established a solid operational foundation in Hanoi, allowing its leadership to focus on market development and regional team growth.
